Caturday feels according to Theo 😸🐾
I’ve been resting and recovering this week. A big painful flare up & infection happened and a head cold jumped into the party. Now on a slow recovery. Wish I could fit in a box, it looks very comforting 😹 Hope you’re having a beautiful & magickal day ✨💜🐾

A tabby cat is sitting in the bottom box of a Wasjig jigsaw puzzle that is on top of a partially completed puzzle. He is waiting for dinner. He got some once the pieces of the jigsaw that he was sitting on were brushed off.

Did I just say, no cats on the puzzle? I did. Does she care? Not a bit.

He am puzzled. Honestly, it’s Jeeves. He is always puzzled, for he is a bear of very little brain.

A very happy looking tuxedo cat curled up in the lid of a puzzle box that is too small for him. The box sits on a table next to a jigsaw puzzle.

Meet the original art world satirist. 🐵 Shibata Zeshin's 1835 masterpiece "Monkey Posing as a Collector" shows a fashionably draped monkey scrutinising collectibles with a magnifying glass, a cheeky 19th-century commentary on connoisseurship that still resonates today. 🎨 #ArtHistory #FineArt

19th century Japanese painting by Shibata Zeshin showing a monkey wrapped in red and yellow patterned silk robes examining a small decorative object through a magnifying glass, surrounded by collector's items including a lacquered book, measuring sticks, an inrō case and netsuke toggle against a golden yellow silk background, ink and colour on silk circa 1835

🌊 Hokusai's "Kajikazawa in Kai Province" remains one of art history's most captivating masterpieces. The fisherman's curved pose deliberately mirrors the rolling waves and rocky contours, creating visual harmony that influenced countless Impressionist masters decades later. 🖼️ #FineArt #ArtHistory

Hokusai's Kajikazawa in Kai Province woodblock print showing a fisherman in traditional dress casting multiple fishing lines from a green rocky promontory into dramatic blue waves of the Fuji River, with Mount Fuji's iconic triangular silhouette rising peacefully in the background under a pale sky, demonstrating the master's use of Prussian blue pigment and bokashi gradation technique

🌊 Monet's "The Green Wave" (c. 1866-67) captures the raw power of the Normandy coast with revolutionary technique. This early masterpiece bridges Romantic drama with emerging Impressionism. 🎨 Critics noted strong Manet influences in its bold composition and high horizon line. #ArtHistory #FineArt
